Frequently asked questions
What is The Rice Polish: Classic?
A water-activated exfoliant powder of Japanese rice powder and silk protein that foams into a creamy lather to polish and smooth the skin.
How do I use it?
Scoop a small amount into dry hands, add a few drops of water, rub to create a creamy foam, massage onto wet skin, then rinse. Follow with your moisturizer or routine.
Is this a physical scrub?
No - it uses enzymes and a fine rice powder to dissolve and lift dead skin rather than relying on large abrasive grains.
Will it irritate sensitive skin?
Many users with sensitive skin report it is gentle, but responses vary by person and formula. Patch test if you have reactive skin.
How much should I use?
A little goes a long way. Users commonly report that about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon is sufficient per use.
Will it dry out my skin?
Most users find it non-stripping, but a small number reported temporary tightness. Apply moisturizer after rinsing if needed.
Is it good for oily or acne-prone skin?
Many users report clearer, smoother pores and improved texture, though results vary by individual and formula choice.
Does it have a scent?
Users describe a subtle, pleasant scent; it is not strongly fragranced.

How to Treat Dehydrated Skin
Dry skin is different from dehydrated skin. Dry skin is a skin type, while dehydrated skin is a skin condition that can occur in anyone and is based on a variety of factors. Sources of dehydrated skin include UV exposure, daily habits (like stress, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle choices), and, of course, a chronic lack of hydrating skincare products. Caring for dehydrated skin takes consistency, in both personal wellness and skincare products. Reach for products that soothe, calm, and hydrate. And wear sunscreen daily to fight UV damage.
Skin Cycling
Skin cycling is a simple four-night cycle that balances powerful active ingredients with recovery time to keep your skin balanced and healthy. It starts with exfoliation, followed by a night of retinol, then two nights of hydration and repair. This method helps prevent irritation while making sure you get all the benefits of your skincare products. It’s great for combination and oily skin, but if you have sensitive skin, you might need to try gentler alternatives.
